Few neurosurgeons work less than 50-60 hours a week (80+ is not at all unusual), practically all of them complain about lack of time with family (high divorce rate), and hobbies are usually flexible ones (e.g. if you run, better run around a track when you're on call).
Experience makes a big difference in neurosurgeons' salaries. A survey conducted in 2011 by Profiles found a median starting salary of $395,000 for neurological surgeons. After six years in practice, the average salary grew to $589,500. Neurosurgery Market Watch reports that neurosurgeons six to 15 years into their profession earned a median income of $914,796.
